The J. Taylor Finley Middle School field hockey team accomplished its main goal this past fall. The Falcons wanted to introduce the sport to as many seventh graders as possible and to sharpen the skills of returning eighth graders. On both fronts, it was “mission accomplished.”

Toppling Commack in an exciting 2-1 game was undoubtedly the highlight of the season. “We set small goals to accomplish during this game,” Conlon said. “For instance, keeping our sticks down, staying in position, using the outside of the field and getting back on defense. It all came together and we won.”

With an excellent group of current seventh graders eligible to return next fall, Conlon is expecting to Finley to have a very successful season.
